Award-winning Irish poet Martin Dyar and composer Dr Ryan Molloy (member of Maynooth University Arts and Humanities Institute and MU Music Department) have joined forces over the past year to create Buaine na Gaoithe, a stunning original song cycle for soprano, flute and harp. This work explores five of Dyar’s texts which examine cyclical themes of landscape, nature, maternity, light, life, death and the voice. American soprano and contemporary music specialist Liz Pearse and renowned Swiss performers Lindsay Buffington (harp) and Chelsea Czuchra (flute) present the premiere of this work on their Irish tour, alongside rarely heard works by Crumb, Mamlok and Zohn-Muldoon. This concert will be premiered during an eight-concert tour of Ireland this October. The tour has been generously supported by the MU Publication Fund. One of the concerts will take place at Maynooth University on the 8th October at 13:10 in Renehan Hall. All welcome.
